Lipophorin is the primary lipoprotein present in the hemolymph of insects, responsible for the lipids' transport between organs. It interacts with specific sites on cell membranes in an essential process for transferring lipids. The lipophorin receptor is the protein responsible for the interaction between lipophorin and cell membranes.

Background: Bowel endometriosis is one of the more severe manifestations of deep endometriosis; it may cause pain and intestinal symptoms. The noninvasive diagnosis of bowel endometriosis is of crucial importance in planning the management of patients affected by this condition.
Objectives: This review aims to describe how transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) is performed in patients with suspicion of rectosigmoid endometriosis, the diagnostic performance, and the strengths and limitations of this technique.

CAPA peptides play diverse roles in insects, modulating muscle contraction, regulating fluid balance, and reproduction. In Rhodnius prolixus, a hematophagous insect and a vector for human Chagas disease, three CAPA peptides are encoded by the capability gene, including RhoprCAPA-1, RhoprCAPA-2, and RhoprCAPA-PK-1. RhoprCAPA-2 is an anti-diuretic hormone in R.

Background: Endometriosis is a chronic, inflammatory, and hormone-dependent disease that affects approximately 10% of women in reproductive age. Endometriosis is categorized into different types, as superficial, deep, and ovarian endometriosis. When deep endometriosis occurs, the sigmoid and rectum are often affected (Becker et al.

Within insects, corticotropin-releasing factor/diuretic hormones (CRF/DHs) are responsible for the modulation of a range of physiological and behavioural processes such as feeding, diuresis, and reproduction. Rhopr-CRF/DH plays a key role in feeding and diuresis in , a blood-gorging insect and a vector for human Chagas disease. Here, we extend our understanding on the role of this neurohormone in reproduction in adult female .
